criticism

“The film appears spontaneous and fresh, not least because it also casts the adult roles with unused faces. Cluelessness and double standards of adults is a preferred source of comedy. But actually the film doesn't want to laugh at, but with each character. "

- Berliner Morgenpost

“A cheerful summer comedy that precisely tracks down the needs of young people and, despite modern means of communication, portrays the generation conflicts as timeless. The involvement of Sophie Marceau builds an attractive bridge to cinematic models. "

- Lexicon of international film

“All in all, 'LOL' (...) is an enjoyable actor film, carried by a convincing squad of young actors and a gorgeous Sophie Marceau. The dialogues are lively, the plot is close to the zeitgeist and the humor is accurate, even if not always politically correct. "

- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
